<p>Newer shifters work with old brakes but old shifters won't work with new brakes apparently.

<p>No, I've just got the bar clamps on the shifter. Oh well, it's not a deal breaker <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>jairaj on "Shimano iSpec: Need anything other than shifters & levers?"http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/shimano-ispec-need-anything-other-than-shifters-levers#post-5243776

<p>ie the sliver coloured bit that looks like this, rather than the usual round clamp that goes on your bars</p>

<p>If you look there is a little hook shaped bit. This connects to the brake leaver handlebar clamp and a little bolt holds it all together nice and secure.

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 13:31:13 +0000bails5243753@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>As per the title, how does this shimano iSpec gubbins work? I've got (iSpec compatible) XT shifters and might be buying some new XT or SLX brakes.</p>
<p>If I want to put the levers and shifters on the same clamp, do I need to buy any other bolts? Or does everything just fit together?
